When I Die — Rumi
If you don’t love poetry, now you gonna be in love with it.
I don’t think so there will be someone who loves poetry but isn’t familiar with the name Rumi.
Rumi, the 13th century Persian poet, has been called the greatest mystical poet of all time.
Rumi believed passionately in the use of music, poetry and dance as a path for reaching God. Scholars believe that Rumi’s PHILOSOPHY towards life provides true testimony and proof that people of all religions and backgrounds can live together in peace and harmony.
Rumi’s works are written mostly in Persian, but occasionally he also used Turkish, Arabic, and Greek in his verse. His Masnavi (Mathnawi), composed in Konya, is considered one of the greatest poems of the Persian language.
His message is to love the Creator, one needs first to learn how to love His creation, i.e human beings. Without loving mankind, one cannot achieve divine inspiration.
I am in love with the flow of his verses and how beautifully he closed the river in a jar.
When I die
when my coffin
is being taken out
you must never think
I am missing this worlddon’t shed any tears
don’t lament or
feel sorry
I’m not falling
into a monster’s abyss
